Quentin's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

6 rounds of treatment are planned at the Rennes Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Rennes
Quentin was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at the Rennes Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Quentin is 27, worked as a tailor until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Rennes Oncology Institute 3 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,200 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $490 • Scans and lab work: $750 • Household costs while unable to work: $960 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Jules

    Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless.

      How is Quentin doing now?

      • Umesh R. Dhawan

        Rooting for you, Jules. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Jakarta

        • Ezekiel Hart

          Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
